Hannah Kearney

SOCHI, Russia — Hannah Kearney's voice was breaking and no doubt her heart was doing the same.

“Right now, I would like very much to ski again,” Kearney said. “I think instead I will try my absolute best to let it go. I think it will help my happiness levels moving forward.”

The bronze medalist was distraught over a mistake in the medal round of the women's moguls, which put her on the podium behind two Canadian sisters, gold medalist Justine Dufour-Lapointe and silver medalist Chloe Dufour-Lapointe.

Four years ago, Kearney had upset Canadian favorite Jenn Heil in Vancouver. This time Canada struck back.
